Default Some Pics of the Ice Cream truck... (N.A.H.!)

Sorry about the pic quality, still learning how to use a camera properly. Pics taken with a Sony DSC-P8 mostly on full automatic mode

Tire shine on steelies = ghetto+++


Side profile, I need to hit the tails with another coat of paint, the bottom outer corners didn't turn out so well =\ and they look a little pinkish all around... although I kinda like it


stupid lic plate holes


Lights on...


Lights off...




bleh this pic looks fugly


bleh lighting. I need lots of practice...






Just barely showin a little pink, also considering pulling that last emblem off...


woo!


Awaiting install:

Red Genie lip kit, to be installed by Mobworks.


Wheels, I bought them from a seller here on HT, 15x6.5 +32. I'll probably run +10 hub spacers in the rear to bring the wheels out to the fenders. I wieghed them the other day and they are ~11/12 lbs (my scale kept bouncing back and forth) I don't get the whole dub look and doubt I would enjoy driving with 100lbs of spinning chrome being the 108 crank hp and alll hahaha.


Video! I was playing around with iPhoto and generated this, ~1.2MB
http://andy.lbox.org/pictures/...f.mov

I know it needs to be dropped. After the lips get painted and I get the new set of shoes on I'll have a better idea of what springs to buy. I really want to go for tein s-tech's but I'm skurred of how low thats going to be. Hopefully a few weeks of driving stock height will give me a better idea - I may wuss out and go with the not-as-low h-techs.

Thanks for lookin'

I test drove an element before I bought this, I decided I want a car and not a utility truck thing. I liked the element and before comparing the two it was my first choice.

I have some rims, I don't have tires or lugs for them though

Thanks for the comments. I think I know which green xB you're talkin about too, the one with -13 offset rims and custom fender flares? I don't have that kind of cash to put in a car, trying to save a bit for a house

If you want to improve your pictures, you should play with the white balance settings.

I got mine before they came out, and they don't have quite the headroom I'd like for a daily. The girlfriend got one though

Thanks, there are about 6 or 7 different settings and some of them look the same, I'll check it out though. Is it better to leave it on auto and toy with the balance in editing software - or better to get it right at the camera?

I just picked up some Teing springs for my xB, I'm going to install them this weekend!

108 hp and shaped like a brick! Haha, I love it!

Depending on the type of camera you use, well, most allow you to flip through the settings and see on your lcd what each preset white balance would look like.
The harsh white light of a parking garage would throw your camera off most times.
Just find the settings, and play with them until you find something you like.
